oops na na..

So apparently swine flu is letting up..


surprise surprise...

iPhone Swine Flu Tracker coming soon ...

It was only a matter of time before some developer, in this case IntuApps, created an application revolving around the Swine Flu and why not, it�s actually pretty informative and it will be free. According to Techcrunch you can expect the following features:

�you can see the current Threat Level for the disease, a map showing confirmed and suspected cases, a symptoms area to inform people, and an alert page for breaking news on Swine Flu.�

This one can be very useful for a lot of people but now the big question is when will this application be approved?

*************************************

Might be useful if this flu does spread ...

How about Herpes tracker? Now that would be waaay more useful

Number of confirmed swine flu cases reported worldwide = 350

Number of people who've died so far this year in North America from regular, every day flu = 12,000 (approx.)


Three cheers for media fear mongering, hip hip hooray!

I was watching city pulse they were asking people to call and answer "What they are doing to prevent Swine Flu...." I called and said "We'll im having less pig sex..." but thy didnt air it

How true indeed... And even people in toronto who should know better from SARS have bought into it.

Sad

So before you all get your panties in a bunch the Swine Flu has been confirmed by scientists as being a 'mild strain' of virus. It has to mutate more in order to cause mass killings people are expecting.

sidenote: Someone sent this to me and I thought I'd share this here

"It was once said that a black man would be president, when pigs fly!" Indeed, 100 days into Obama's presidency..... Swine Flu!!!!" - anonymous

Pigs have been flying since the OPP got helicopters

Thank you. It's what I've been trying to say but but I didn't have a news source.

And apparently the number of deaths in Mexico was misreported, went down from 150 to like 7, haha. This is SARS all over again.

I had no idea that 12,000 people a year die from regular flu in North America. That's crazy.

So did anybody buy shares of Roche?

lmfao

at least we cant blame the swine flu "pandemic" on asians like we did with sars...

I'm so relieved that the armchair virologists of TA undertook such a vigorous scientific approach in their dismissal of swine flu as a serious threat.

I feel so much safer knowing that you guys are looking after us.

And i feel great that I dont get suckered into unnecessary paranoia. Chicken Little would be proud of society right now.

Why? Their stock is very slightly down from Monday. I don't think they've really benefited from the "pandemic".

Almost as rigorous as the mass media's scientific study and fact-checking, which was almost as rigorous as their research into the Avian flu, SARS, Ebola, Mad Cow Disease...

Come on, seriously, it's one thing if top world scientists are coming out and saying we need to be very very worried about this, but it's entirely another to be cynical over comically inflated casualty reports and general mass hysteria.

you just underscored my point. people blowing this off have done about as much research and fact-checking as the oh-so-unbiased media whose primary goal is to sell its news product with accuracy being a distant 2nd.

Considering just categorized the swine flu as a "mild strain" I won't be too worried about it until it mutates again.

If you practice a sanitary lifestyle and don't down antibiotics whenever you feel ill your immune system should be great. Take Vitamin C and eat healthy. I don't understand why people STILL think taking antibiotics when you have a flu or cold will cure it. The mass consumption of antibiotics is the reason we have strains like this.

Using anti-bacterial soap and anti-bacterial hand sanitizer weakens your immune system as it seeps into the pores and wipes away the good bacteria as well. Regular soap will do just fine.

lol. no. you are contradicting yourself. you can figure out why.

Yeah the thing about antibiotics was weird... they don't kill viruses because viruses aren't technically alive, but they can't make them more resistant either.

I think she might have been using the term "antibiotics" to refer to anti-infection medicines in general - it's colloquial but common. And if I'm not mistaken, the same principles apply: people who run to get Tamiflu every time they have flu-like symptoms and stop their dosage as soon as they feel marginally better are likely to create more resistant strains.

If you actually listened to the scientists and health experts the media was interviewing, from as far as 2 weeks ago they were consistent with the message that this virus was not appearing to be as deadly has they originally thought.

p.s. you're a nerd.

no, i do not think that people use antibiotics interchangeably with antivirals, do they? that seems weird but i don't talk to many people that don't know the difference.


i personally think that purel and the such are the biggest scam and in fact could cause more harm then good. not only does it allow crazy bacteria to develop (as mentioned above) but also they dry out people's hands and cause small cuts and open skin wounds and therefore allow bacteria AND viruses to enter the body when if they skin was intact would just sit there and be washed off with soap.
